Press Releases

Welcome to the new Press Releases forum! Our old press release system has been retired but we've moved everything and everyone to a new, shinier home. Enjoy!

A press release must be written for the purpose of announcing something newsworthy. Advertisements, promotions, or anything smelling even vaguely of spam will be deleted. All press releases must be relevant to the development community.

SysTools proudly reiterates spectators about the one-click data extraction ability owned by EDB to PST converter application which not only serves Exchange Recovery but also renders EDB to PST conversion. Being a commodious EDB recovery application most users adopt it for the repair and extraction of data from EDB format to that of Outlook PST. The main motive behind the creation of this application was to propose users having corrupt Exchange Server, a way to overcome the damage. In fact, users looking for a switchover from Exchange Server to Outlook client for standalone emailing without experiencing server related hassles can associate with the tool.

Meanwhile, along with the one-click data recovery and extraction from EDB platform to Outlook PST other benefitting attributes served by the company can also be savored by users lucratively. Exchange Recovery program is available in a bundle offer that offers users to acquire the benefit of Exchange BKF to PST, Exchange BKF Recovery, Exchange Import, and Exchange Export along with EDB converter tool.

Another bundle offer that privileges client end to save ample amount of expenditure is the one which includes Exchange Recovery tool along with Exchange Export and Exchange Import so that suitable users can acquire the benefit.

“The software operability serves a lot of more than users can expect in fact the one-click EDB repair and conversion process featured by the tool is most appreciated amongst all other facilities of the tool. The Exchange Recovery program offers a smooth and organizational level of conversion to users which is not only easy to operate but is also accurate and up to the level. Meanwhile, the user group which has mostly approached the application to extract Exchange mailbox is from the organizational end only as compared to the users who utilize the tool for personal purpose.” Said the Director of Product Development; Evan Swans.

The 2012 Duke's Choice Award Winners have been announced by Oracle in advance of the world’s largest Java event - the JavaOne Conference in San Francisco, CA. Jelastic, the company behind the ultra scalable and interoperable Java Cloud hosting platform (http://www.jelastic.com), has been selected as the Technology Leader Award Winner.

The Duke’s Choice Awards celebrate extreme innovation in the world of Java technology. They are only granted to the most innovative, novel and groundbreaking projects using Java. They are a prestigious 10-year old tradition within the Java community and receiving one is the highest honor that one can receive in the Java world. The primary criteria for the awards are innovation: Jelastic contribution to the Java world is the development of the next-generation Java hosting platform – the Java Elastic Cloud.

A testament to Jelastic’s innovation is the fact that another Duke’s Choice Award Winner, Liquid Robotics, is using Jelastic as well. Liquid Robotics’ Chief Software Architect, Dr. James Gosling (“The Father of Java”), has chosen to use Jelastic for its stability, redundancy, scalability, time saving and survivability. As he put it, “I really like Jelastic… you don’t get a bare Linux machine… they actually take care of that and it works lovely… they can span multiple ISPs, multiple countries, multiple data centers, and that’s how I deal with my personal extreme paranoia of survivability.” With Jelastic, Gosling doesn’t have to worry about his robots being lost at sea; he can focus on the development and functionality of his applications and the work his ocean-going robots are doing: http://blog.jelastic.com/2012/08/23/james-gosling-father-of-java-loves-jelastic/

Before Jelastic, moving a Java application to the Cloud used to not only be a rather complex process, but it was a huge time waste for anyone wanting to deploy their applications to the Cloud, because most solutions required recoding and reworking applications to fit non-standard hosting platforms, creating lock-in and increasing the time it took to deploy an application. With Jelastic, this massive learning curve, time-waste and lock-in are eliminated. Jelastic’s standards-based platform can run virtually any Java application — in minutes, not hours. It is currently the only Java Cloud that provides true “smart scaling”: each app gets the resources it needs based on the number of requests that it is receiving, with no manual adjustments required. As loads increase or decrease, resources are automatically allocated, in real-time. With Jelastic, deploying applications to the Cloud is just easy.

“It a great honor and privilege to receive the “Oscar” of the Java world - The Duke’s Choice Award,” says Jelastic Founder and CEO Ruslan Synytsky. “In just one year, our company has changed the Cloud computing game by providing the first truly auto-scalable platform with no lock-in - available around the globe: US, Germany, UK, Russia and Japan. Our partners - like Parallels, NGINX, GlassFish, MariaDB and others - have been instrumental in helping us achieve this huge milestone. Our goals for the next year will be to increase the number of hosting providers that offer Jelastic around the world, continuing to improve our technology and, our biggest goal, to continue to make the life of the developer easier.”

Jelastic, Inc., a startup company based in Palo Alto, Calif., makes the Java server hosting platform for developers and hosting service providers. Jelastic is the only PaaS offering designed specifically for hosting service providers to deploy and make available to their customers. Jelastic automatically scales Java applications and allocates server resources required by applications, thus delivering the true next generation Java cloud computing.

Aspose Newsletter for October 2012 has now been published that highlights all the newly supported features offered in the recent releases of its JasperReports exporters, SQL Server rendering extensions, .NET, Java & SharePoint components. This month’s technical article shows saving DOC to Multipage TIFF with Aspose.Words for Java & a migration tip for saving VSD Files to Other Formats with VSTO or Aspose.Diagram. The video tutorial shows exporting Image to PSD with Aspose.Imaging for .NET.

In October 2011, we introduced Aspose.Imaging for .NET, an API for converting image files between formats and creating images. We are delighted to announce its first sibling, Aspose.Imaging for Java. The two products have the same features and save you lots of time when working with image files in your programs. To celebrate the release of Aspose.Imaging for Java, this month’s newsletter is themed around images. Aspose’s products have a host of image conversion and manipulation features. This month, we share how to save Microsoft Word documents to multipage TIFFs, export images to PSD with Aspose.Imaging and save Microsoft Visio diagrams to image formats with Aspose.Diagram. These are just some of the tasks that developers can perform with our products.

Product Spotlight: Aspose.Imaging

Aspose.Imaging lets software developers create, convert, draw and manage images, independently of image editors. Now available for .NET and Java, Aspose.Imaging saves you time and effort by letting you add image management features to your applications quickly.

Multipage TIFFs group several images into one file. Aspose.Words for Java lets developers save documents to TIFF with one line of code. If the document contains more than one page, a multipage TIFF is created automatically. It is possible to set compression, resolution and which of the document’s pages you want to save. Click below to read the complete articleSaving DOC to Multipage TIFF.

AOne of the great benefits of Aspose.Imaging is that it lets you output to PSD, the native Adobe PhotoShop format. This tutorial shows how to set up a project that loads a BMP file and saves it to an RGB-mode PSD file with RLE compression. Click below to watch the Video about Export Image to PSD

Migration Tip – Saving VSD Files to Other Formats with VSTO or Aspose.Diagram for .NET

With Aspose.Diagram, you can work with Microsoft Visio files without Microsoft Office Automation. To share diagrams with colleagues who don’t have Microsoft Visio, or use diagrams in presentations, you’ll need to save diagrams to other file formats. You can do that with VSTO, of course, but we think you’ll agree that it is easier with Aspose.Diagram for .NET. Read the complete migration tip aboutSaving VSD Files to Other Formats.

This is a great feature that will reduce the cost and effort to convert C# Windows form application to java. CodePorting Engineers are currently upgrading C#2Java engine to take this idea further and make this feature more powerful for future desktop application. To start this feature CodePorting has successfully ported simple desktop application to java.

CodePorting is using Swing components instead of AWT to convert .Net forms to Java because it is easily convertible and provide wide range of features such as icons, pop-ups, tool-tips, and its plug-able look & feel makes it fit in any OS environment. <a href=http://codeporting.com/wiki/display/CS2JavaUserGuide/How+It+Works>C#2Java engine also converts form events to java. To accommodate this new feature, codeporting has enhanced the core, created some new Java library classes and updated the mappings files.

CodePorting helps you make your .NET applications cross platform compatible and allows migrating your .NET solutions, projects and files into Java in the cloud. Other than speed and accuracy of conversion; port your C# code directly either by uploading .cs files contained in a .zip file or import directly from popular version control repositories like GIT, Mercurial HG and SubVersion. You can also download a Microsoft Visual Studio plugin and convert C# code in the real time without leaving the development environment. You may also build your own customized code conversion applications using CodePorting APIs.

CodePorting C#2Java Application is a cloud based converter that has accomplished immense popularity because of its broad collection of <a href= http://codeporting.com/wiki/display/csharp2java/3.+Supported+Language+Constructs>supported C# language constructs. Its powerful engine parse and transforms thousand of C# souce code lines to java in few seconds.
CodePorting has recently imrpoved its C#2Java engine and now its capable of converting C# source code having delegates in it to java. In C# programming language, delegate is a form of type-safe function pointer which is mostly used for call backs and event listener. Unfortunately, there is no delegate construct in Java so while converting C# code to Java, <a href=http://codeporting.com/wiki/display/CS2JavaUserGuide/How+It+Works>C#2Java engine intelligently converts the delegates to interfaces with the invoke method call by auto generating required code.

Lets take an example of how codeporting engine converts C# delegates to java interfaces.

C# Code:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System;
using System.Linq;
public class Delegate
{
public static void Main(string[> arg)
{

CodePorting helps you make your .NET applications cross platform compatible and allows migrating your .NET solutions, projects and files into Java in the cloud. Other than speed and accuracy of conversion; port your C# code directly either by uploading .cs files contained in a .zip file or import directly from popular version control repositories like GIT, Mercurial HG and SubVersion. You can also download a Microsoft Visual Studio plugin and convert C# code in the real time without leaving the development environment. You may also build your own customized code conversion applications using CodePorting APIs.
